UNSPSC 60121252: Paint pans

UNSPSC 60121252 Paint pans, a Commodity code, describes paint supply procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader scope than pans alone — the City of Fort Worth's RFP encompasses interior and exterior latex paints, industrial alkyds, primers, sealers, caulks, elastomeric coatings, traffic marking paints, and spray equipment; the Madison Community Development Authority's RFB for the Karabis Apartments project specifies exterior paint and caulking as part of a surface preparation and siding installation scope; and Collier County's ITB targets architectural, industrial, specialty, and automotive paints along with associated supplies and equipment. Cities and county procurement offices dominate the recent activity, though a state agency (Illinois Secretary of State) also solicited paint and painting supplies through an RFQ in March 2026. The mix reflects routine maintenance and capital project demand across municipal facilities, public housing, and transportation infrastructure.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier County, ITB posted April 2026), Texas (City of Fort Worth, RFP due August 6, 2026), Wisconsin (Madison Community Development Authority, RFB due July 17, 2026), and Illinois (Secretary of State, RFQ due April 9, 2026). Fort Worth's solicitation exemplifies the scale and specificity of recent municipal demand — the city requires five years' vendor experience, enforces a 30% small business participation goal with certified firms from Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County, evaluates on best value (cost, small business participation, experience, delivery capability, and local-business preference), and offers one-year terms with renewal options through year six. Collier County's three-year ITB with optional two-year renewal and historical spend of approximately $675,380 signals multi-year framework agreements; the county reserves the right to award primary, secondary, and tertiary vendors. Madison's single-project scope (July 17, 2026 deadline) includes Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements and a two-month performance window. One recent opportunity — Santa Clara County's expressway guardrail replacement project (April 23, 2026 bid due) — is unrelated to paint pans or paint supplies and does not reflect material activity under this code.
